well i will confess that I made my friend (who doesn't have any cats) pretend to have 2 and get 2 samples of everything too!
I bought loads of food. As well as the applaws I also bought some almo nature, hi life, bozita and forza10 (which I'd never heard of before). Got lots of samples of dry food. There was one place that had a large bin full of little packets and you could help yourself. I did so every time I walked passed
I'm also slightly ashamed to say I picked up some samples of iams wet food too
I just couldn't resist a freebie and at least I didn't give them any money.
Also got a signed copy of Cat Confidential by Vicky Halls for £5
And the current issue of Your Cat for £1 (I learnt my lesson the first year I went to the supreme - bought the magazine as normal the week before only to find it selling at the show with a free goody bag).
That's great about the Abys, Sam - I love them and always spend a while looking at them. Just think - I could have been right there admiring them while you were a few feet away!
I got a bit of a surprise when I was talking to this somali breeder about how long they take to mature. I knew they are fairly slow to mature but exactly how long is something I've never got around to asking Mosi's breeder and isn't mentioned in breed profiles. He said Mosi won't be fully grown until he's at leat 3! That explains why they said he'd be a big cat and I'm thinking he's actually quite small! (although he's already bigger than some of the fully grown somalis there). Be afraid, Jaffa - be very afraid! He's going to be a monster!
